We were coming back from the fireworks and when we got around Willow Point Golf Course, we hit a wake that we didn't see. The front end of the pontoon boat went under water up to the middle of the front seats and the motor came out of the water. My husband and his brother had water up to their knees! Thank God our 6 year old daughter (who was wearing a life jacket) moved to the back of the boat right before the fireworks ended because she was tired. We managed to lose one flip flop, 2 cell phones were soaked and my $800 Nikon camera no longer works. I know those items can be replaced but it is ashame that we have to be out that money because of someone not paying attention to how they drive their boat.
